Class Colors Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 5.2.0.80

by: Phanx [More]

Class Colors lets you change class colors without breaking parts of the Blizzard UI.

It is supported by many popular addons, and also applies your custom colors to all parts of the Blizzard UI that are normally class-colored. If you want to colorize more parts of the Blizzard UI, check out yClassColors by yleaf.

Type “/classcolors” for options, or open the Class Colors panel in the Interface Options window.

Language Support

Class Colors is compatible with English, Deutsch , Español, Français, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文 game clients.

How to make your addon support Class Colors

Basically, any time your addon would read a value from the RAID_CLASS_COLORS table, just look for a CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS table and read from it instead.

If your addon uses a local upvalue for RAID_CLASS_COLORS, or builds a local cache table of class colors, you should update your upvalue or cache in response to the PLAYER_LOGIN event, and register for a callback to be notified when the user changes a class color.

Please do not check for the !ClassColors addon by name — eg. with GetAddOnInfo or IsAddOnLoaded — or set !ClassColors as a dependency for your addon. Use the methods described above.

See see the CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS documentation for more details!

If I notice any, or someone reports any, I'll post another update. __________________ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, and many more.

daeger A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 167 Uploads: 0	Well thanks for pointing me in the right direction, it's just that there really aren't any addons that do status bar color changes and this seemed like the best place to ask.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2610 File comments: 1691 Uploads: 30	This addon is called *Class* Colors for a reason. I have no plans to extend it to change reaction colors, reputation colors, power colors, or any other colors. The whole reason this addon exists is that you can't just overwrite values in the normal class colors table, or parts of the default UI stop working. That problem does not exist for other color tables, so you can just overwrite the values directly, and other addons don't need to include any special code to support it. Reaction colors can be changed by overwriting the GameTooltip_UnitColor function and/or overwiting values in the FACTION_BAR_COLORS table. If you need help, post in the Lua/XML Help forum. __________________ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, and many more.

Phanx A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 2610 File comments: 1691 Uploads: 30	@Stanzilla: Please don't post 500 lines of local variables and other junk in a comment. I deleted it, because it's not relevant (only the actual error message is relevant in 9999999999999/10000000000000 cases) and I don't want to have to scroll through it. Anyway, that error can only occur if one of your other addons is doing something wrong, and calling ChatFrameN:AddMessage without actually providing a message. I know AtlasLoot used to cause that error years ago. I don't know what addon might be causing the problem for you (it may even be AtlasLoot) but it is caused by some other addon. __________________ Author/maintainer of Grid, PhanxChat, and many more.

Grungra A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 20 Uploads: 0	Class colors in blizzard's raid window Since the last patch, the raid window was getting the colors wrong, if I moved people around from group to group they would take the same color as my character... if I played on mage they would all turn light blue, as hunter they would go all green. Did they change something on their code that would make that happen? No errors at all, just the coloring of all raiders regardless of class would end up being the same color as the character I had in raid at the time. It looks funny to have a raid full of the same class. Disabled ClassColors and the problem went away.
